In a world that is demanding 24/7 availability of information and using increasingly complex types of technology, there are growing risks to information and its security. A compromise has to be struck between security of information and its availability. This book, and the ISEB 'Information Security Management Principles' qualification which it supports, provide significant first steps along the path of dealing with information security in a pragmatic and comprehensive manner.

Key areas covered include:
Risk management
Information security implementation
